Child Care Assistance Program Policy Manual Issued 07/2021 MFIP Sanctions 4.3.3.9 MFIP case closes due to seventh sanction If an MFIP case closes due to a seventh sanction occurrence, also referred to as 100 percent sanction or sanction disqualification, the family is no longer eligible for MFIP child care. When a family loses eligibility for MFIP child care due to a seventh sanction occurrence, assess their eligibility for Transition Year child care. • If the family received MFIP or DWP for one of the last six months, the family is eligible for Transition Year child care. The family does not need to meet minimum activity requirements until redetermination. • If the family has not received MFIP or DWP for one of the last six months, the family is not eligible for Transition Year child care. Assess eligibility for Basic Sliding Fee child care. The family does not need to meet minimum activity requirements until redetermination. If Basic Sliding Fee funds are not available, the MFIP child care case closes and the family is added to the Basic Sliding Fee waiting list. For information about how changes in subprogram impact eligibility and authorization during the 12 month eligibility period, see Chapter 8.1.18 (Changes in subprogram) and Chapter 9.1.5.3 (Authorizing care – Sanctions).
